about Paris

The l'Insitut français d'Ukraine held a drawing competition about Paris.
I decided to participate and I've won!


I've never been to Paris. All my ideas of that city gleaned from books and movies. Especially from Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast". So when I will go to Paris at last I'll get Paris syndrome.. :)
So I didn't want to draw an Eiffel Tower or other most expectable place. I wanted to catch the atmosphere of the city (or actually of the Hemingway's book :-)), so I draw a famous Parisian bookstore.


 















And here is my trophy:

Inktober 2014

About two weeks ago I read about amazing funny challange named "Inktober".
And I decide to participate this year.

And here is first part of my drawings

An octopus week on "Illustration friday"

My trip to Lviv

Last month I went to Lviv Book Forum.
This is the biggest book fair in Ukraine, so I went there to meet people, to look what is going on with the illustration industry here, in Ukraine, to buy new books for me and for Martha and to walk the narrow streets of Lviv. And to sketch a lot.

Lviv is an amazing city. One of my favorite.

There are some photos in my instagram.
And here are my sketches:

365 Days of Type

Last week I decided to get involved in a project of Sabrina Smelko "365 Days of Type"
I choose number 271 and draw an illustration on it.
Here it is.

Playground sketches

Last days I decided to take my sketchbook when I take Martha to the playground.

Here is some fast sketches of the kids.
